Providing services for people who need ongoing support of some kind best describes the role of which helper?

• A. Case manager
• B. Caregiver
• C. Counselor
• D. Advocate

Answer: (B)

Providing ongoing assistance with daily living tasks is what a caregiver specializes in. A caregiver offers hands-on, continuous support for someone who can’t fully manage daily activities, such as meals, mobility, personal care, medication reminders, transportation, and supervision. This ongoing, practical help matches the scenario described. A case manager focuses on coordinating services and resources rather than providing routine day-to-day care. A counselor concentrates on emotional or psychological guidance rather than ongoing practical support. An advocate works to protect a client’s rights and access to services but doesn’t typically provide continuous hands-on care. So, the caregiver best fits the role described.
